Abstract
Understanding the contribution of routes of transmission, particularly the role of fomites in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission is important in developing and implementing successful public health infection prevention and control measures.This article will look at case reports, laboratory findings, animal studies, environmental factors, the need for disinfection, and differences in settings, as they relate to SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; fomite; infection prevention and control; public health; surface; transmission.
